This vintage book contains a comprehensive guide to accurate tool and die making, steel treatment, drop forging, die sinking, power presses, and shop practice for the production of duplicate metal parts. Profusely illustrated and full of invaluable tips, this volume will be of considerable utility to the modern reader with an interest in metalworking, and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Die-Sinking and Drop-Forging Practise and Design for Modern Forging, Pressing, and Stamping of Duplicate Metal Parts", "Die-Sinking and Embossing Practise Methods, Processes, Machines, and Tools", "Drop-Forging Dies, Their Design, Construction, and Use in Drop-Hammer, Drop-Press, and Forging-Machine", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
